So when the cops say they are to protect and seve then get caught taking bribes or planting evidence it means nothing huh and when politicians swear to uphold the constitution then rip it to shreds it's no big deal huh.

The IRS has already admitted that there was wrongdoing!...lol!

Under your logic every politician in the US would be immune from investigations like the benghazi investigation because it is pretty easy to claim they are politically motivated and therefor members of congress cannot participate. of course that does not apply because part of their responsibility is to investigate wrongdoing which is protected from being considered politically motivated despite the reality that it is politically motivated.

feel free to open that can of worms and try to apply that act and we can hammer every republican representative who has mentioned benghazi. Not to mention any one of them who mentions the IRS or the AP scandal. No, forget it i am all for the republicans running with this one. It can do nothing but destroy both parties and that is something america needs.

It would apply if an IRS agent targetted a citizen for political reasons.

You would have to prove that. What the IRS people are going to tell us is that they did it because it is their job to find fraud in NFP organizations.You see in order to actually convict someone you have to provide evidence that shows they did it for political reasons and not because they were using lazy searches on the most likely offenders. Your opinion that they did it would not be adequate proof. What they did is not illegal unless you can prove they did it to harm a specific group and not just because it was part of their job to crack down on 501c4 organizations.

Maybe the republicans can edit some more emails and pretend that is proof?
